Katie Holmes has described husband Tom Cruise as an "incredible human being".

The actress - who stars as Jackie Kennedy in The History Channel's upcoming miniseries The Kennedys - was asked by New York Magazine if she would ever work with her partner on a project.

"Well, we do collaborate on everything at home. But I mean, he's Tom Cruise! His body of work is incredible. Every movie heâ€™s done has done really well," she replied.

"I look back, and everything's a classic. I definitely come home and say to him, 'So, imagine a sceneâ€¦ how would you play it?' And he's helpful and sweet and gracious. He's quite an incredible human being."

Holmes, who has 4-year-old daughter Suri with Cruise, was also quizzed about her thoughts on media speculation surrounding her marriage.

"It's there, it's one of those things. My big concern is what does he have going, what do I have going, what are we going to do this weekend," she said. "It must seem weird, I guess, having so many people watching. It is weird. I get it. But you just, you know, smile and nod."
